Evidence-based

Research validating what I do

Another thing that distinguishes me from other professionals is that I have done groundbreaking peer-reviewed research on the very therapies I use on my patients.

A common claim made by certain members of the chiropractic community is that chiropractic treatments affect brain function and human behavior. But the amount of peer-reviewed published research on this is extremely limited. There are only a handful of Neuroimaging studies on chiropractic and brain function. There are even less on chiropractic and behavior.

I have done research in ADHD and Neurofeedback in a clinical setting. My study with David Cantor, Ph.D. titled Evidence-Based QEEG Neurofeedback Therapy: Clinical Outcomes in ADHDshowed improvement in objective performance measures of ADHD in 100% of off-medication participants (n=41). This research was done while I was chief therapist at the Psychological Sciences Institute.

I was co-author on a paper Adult Bile Acid Amino Transferase Deficiency which is indexed on Pubmed and published in the American Journal of Case Reports. The article can be downloaded here. It dealt with the relationship between gut dysbiosis and brain function, something which I give great attention to in my practice if the patient is interested in such a service.

Here's a link to a study measuring the movement of cranial bones. And here's a link to a study that showed cranial corrections changed not only the position of the cranial bones but the brain itself!
